“Permission…?”
“Yes. I asked you before, remember? How far I could go with skinship during guiding.”
“Ah.”
Iberis let out a small exclamation as he recalled the day when they officially started the second stage of guiding, prompted by Lucas’s words.
“It’s been over a week since I gave you time to think. I think it’s about time I heard an answer. Won’t you set the boundaries now?”
“Well…”
“Since you won’t allow other areas, there’s not much I can do, Major.”
Lucas grumbled, burying his face in Iberis’s chest and rubbing his forehead against him.
“If I remember correctly, we agreed to figure out what’s okay as we proceed with the guiding. You agreed to that, Major.”
“…That’s right.”
Iberis, weak against lies, readily agreed. As if waiting for that answer, Lucas’s brilliant golden eyes met Iberis’s gaze.
“Since you’ve become somewhat accustomed to kissing, I think it’s time to move to the next stage.”
Lucas said firmly, with an expression that showed he absolutely wouldn’t back down today.
“You said earlier that you only wanted to kiss…”
Iberis averted Lucas’s gaze and protested in a shrinking voice. Just kissing made his legs weak and his mind go blank, so doing more than that? Unthinkable.
Touching over clothes was somewhat okay, but skin-to-skin contact like earlier was his weakness. He could somehow endure hands or face, but the problem was areas untouched by others, like the waist.
Even slight contact with Lucas made his body tremble; how could he allow him to touch freely? Honestly, he wasn’t confident he could remain composed.
“That’s why I’m saying we should define the range of kissing, right?”
“Huh?”
“There’s something you’re misunderstanding, Major… Kissing isn’t just the act of lips meeting lips.”
“What…”
Fingers slipped through hair as black as the moonless night sky, cradling the back of Iberis’s head and pulling him closer. Their lips met briefly and parted.
“Besides doing it here…”
Lucas whispered softly, then kissed Iberis’s cheek, tinged with a light pink. Next was the bridge of his nose. As if reviewing his previous actions, he kissed near the eyes and forehead, then met Iberis’s wide silver-gray eyes.
“Doing it here and here are all kisses too. And…”
“Huh!”
Iberis hunched his shoulders as Lucas lowered his head and pressed his lips to Iberis’s chest. A shiver ran through him as hot breath seeped through his shirt.
“What are you… Ah! Nngh…”
Iberis tried to stop Lucas reflexively, sensing danger, but Lucas was faster. Before he could do anything, a moan escaped Iberis’s lips as Lucas bit his chest through the shirt.
Lucas licked the tender flesh through the shirt with his tongue. As the sticky saliva dampened the thin fabric, the stimulated nub became more prominent. He captured the protruding part with his lips and sucked.
“Nng, don’t, do that. Aah… Ah!”
Overwhelmed by the strange sensation, Iberis groaned. When sharp teeth gently bit the sensitive area, he let out a high-pitched cry. His hair stood on end and a chill ran down his spine.
“Stop, nh, stop it…”
Unable to bear it, Iberis pushed Lucas’s head away with trembling hands. Fortunately, Lucas didn’t resist and obediently removed his lips. Of course, only his actions were obedient.
“Why, Major? I only kissed you as you wanted.”
“How is this, uh, anywhere near…”
“I just explained it to you, didn’t I? I only bit and sucked, just like I do to your lips.”
Iberis’s mouth gaped at Lucas’s brazen attitude, his lips moving wordlessly. He wanted to retort but couldn’t find the words.
“Well, since there was clothing in between, I suppose no guiding actually happened.”
Lucas licked his lips regretfully while gently rolling his thumb over the protruding area. He continued speaking.
“Anyway, whether it’s the lips, chest, or waist… kissing anywhere on your body is still a kiss, Major.”
“You’re always so glib… Hah! Wait, don’t touch there… Ah!”
“Now that you understand, will you tell me the acceptable range for skinship? I’d like to make at least a little progress today.”
“I, I don’t know…”
“What do you mean you don’t know? You’re the one who agreed it was okay to test how far we could go, Major.”
“That’s…”
“How long are you going to keep running away?”
Lucas lowered his voice and pinched the increasingly stiff nub on Iberis’s chest, as if scolding him.
“When did I ever… Agh!”
Iberis, about to protest indignantly, arched his back as an intense pleasure surged through him, making him dizzy. His limbs tingled as if electrified.
“…Ch-chest.”
“Hm?”
Lucas, who had been persistently tormenting Iberis’s chest, paused at the faint voice near his ear. Glancing up, he saw Iberis’s face, now even redder than before.
“If it’s just the chest… I think it might be okay.”
When their eyes met, Iberis bit his lip once before mumbling.
“…Hmm, I understand. We’ll stop there for today.”
Lucas, having finally obtained permission from Iberis, responded with a hint of disappointment.
“Wait, what do you mean ‘for today’…”
Iberis, uneasy at Lucas’s added words, flinched as his shirt buttons were undone. The exposed skin felt a momentary chill in the air.
“Are you cold?”
Lucas asked as he finished unbuttoning the shirt, feeling the slight trembling of the body against him. Unlike his hands with many small scars, Iberis’s chest was clean. On the clear, pale skin, the only part with color was visible. Lucas, as if entranced, brought his lips to the pinkish flesh that stood out enticingly.
“No, it’s fi- Ah!”
“I’ll warm you up soon.”
Lucas engulfed the prominently erect area in his mouth. He bit and sucked the plump flesh as if biting into sweet fruit. Simultaneously, he raised his hand to attack the opposite side of the chest.
“Hah, mm, nng.”
Iberis, overwhelmed by the rising excitement, bit his lip uncertainly. With one side stimulated by mouth and the other by hand, his mind quickly became hazy. The hot sensation starting from his chest spread throughout his body, making the area below his waist tingle even without being touched.
“That’s enough, hah, it feels, strange, huu…”
Unable to withstand the intensifying sensations, Iberis rested his chin on Lucas’s crown. Strange sounds kept escaping through his teeth, and his legs kept trying to come together, but Lucas’s thigh prevented it. Frustrated, Iberis unconsciously lifted his hips.
“It’s not strange, it feels good.”
Feeling this, Lucas let out a soft chuckle, then gently licked the skin before sucking with his lips. Meanwhile, the hand caressing the opposite chest moved to the back. He tickled the protruding shoulder blade before sliding his fingers along the spine.
“Nnh, ah, it tickles…”
As Lucas gently caressed the slender waist, Iberis shook his head as if telling him to stop. But Lucas wasn’t one to listen.
“Don’t avoid it. You need to get used to my touch quickly.”
Lucas blocked Iberis as he tried to pull back, as if refusing to let him escape. He gripped the lean waist tightly enough to leave marks and raised his head to kiss the parted lips.
Lucas pushed his tongue in, ravaging the moist interior of Iberis’s mouth while kneading the waist in his grip. The waist, thin enough to be held in one hand, both concerned and aroused him.
Hah, Lucas took a deep breath to suppress the rising desire within him, swallowing all the saliva flowing through their joined lips. Whether it was breath, moans, or saliva, everything Iberis emitted tasted as sweet as honey.
“Haa, Luke…”
Iberis, breathless, gripped Lucas’s shoulders tightly as if telling him to stop. The world seemed to spin, and his vision was hazy as if in a fog.
However, Lucas, as if unhearing Iberis’s voice, continued kissing while moving the hand kneading the waist lower. Just as his large hand grasped Iberis’s buttocks, an alarm rang out in the damp office air, signaling the end of the guiding session.
